Thank you for explaining it in a very clear and precise way. I have 2 queries regarding concurrent nested design. 1. How would we explain that qual. data is nested under QUANT. DATA ? (Is it the priority given to 1 method justifies this embeddedness ? and also the objective of qual. data to complement the QUANT data ) 2. For an intervention study with RCT where qual. data (to assess feasibility, acceptability and to gain knowledge on the before and after experiences of participants) is embedded in QUANT data(to measure the impact of the intervention on outcome variables). And the design looks like - Before intervention qual. data collects information on feasibility and acceptability of the intervention as we plan to assess the critical points to be able to assess the challenges we might face while conducting the intervention and after intervention, we plan to record their qual. experiences of the intervention. And we apply before and after data collections simultaneously. Will it be called sequential or concurrent design ? 3. Also, if qual. data and QUANT data is collected through online mode and intervention is conducted face to face. Will there be problems in validating or complementation of data ? because in embedded we can keep data's separate ? Please share your insights on the above points. I will be really thankful to you.
You're welcome Sania! Please find below my comments: Answer to question 1: With this design qualitative method is playing a limited/small in the study. Priority is given to quantitative method since it is playing a dominate role in the study (see slide 31: www.slideshare.net/kontorphilip/designing-a-mixed-methods-research) Answer to question 2: It will be concurrent nested because the implementation of the quantitative portion doesn’t depend on the findings of the qualitative portion. Answer to question 3: No, it doesn't. Best! Philip
I dont know if you can answer this, and anyone who will be able to see this, i need help. I am thinking of a study about self-efficacy and i want to increase it (Quanti) so it'll be experimental, but at the same time i'll be asking participants for testemonies for possible way to help them like what things will make things easier for you? (example). Basically from their study, ill have an intervention that will use to increase their self-efficacy. Can i say that this is a concurrent nested design because of the role of qual is for me to just look on possible solution? thank you so much! if not what can you recommend
Thank you for sharing! If I can recommend another video on mixed methods (basic decisions and different mixed methods designs), here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/yc--5XwQ5b0/v-deo.html
Wow! Professor Adu,
What a wonderful presentation!
Thank you

I love this research methods video. Papa Adu, we are following your footsteps
Thank you Kwame!! For more resources, please go to: www.slideshare.net/kontorphilip/presentations
Excellent presentation and contents!!! Thank you for your invaluable effort...
You're welcome Laxman!!

if not what can you recommend
Yes, it is concurrent nested mixed methods design with qualitative approach playing a less dominant role.
thank you very much :)
